The only way to keep illegals out is to remove incentives for good employment here. Sanctions will make good employment opportunities less available. On its apparent merits. the bill does not deserve an affirmative vote. But intangibles cannot be ignored. There is no other option. People. like Chairman MAZZOLI. in whom I have great faith. tell us this is the only possible way to make any progress against the problem of illegal immigration. It is possible that the bill may be improved in conference committee by setting the amnesty date back in time. I would prefer to vote against the bill. but feel compelled to keep it alive.
